The issue of effective interactions between the representatives of different cultures has been investigated by many researchers. Such attention is caused by growing tendency for globalization as it means increasing in the number of contacts in many public spheres such as international politics, business, trade, education and many others. There have been developed different approaches to define and conceptualize cross-cultural competence, its components and their correlation. Therefore, to analyze the concept and the structure of cross-cultural competence is the purpose of the present research. Methods. To achieve the goal, the differences in theoretical definitions and conceptualizations of cross-cultural competence structure were analyzed. The generalization of its components was considered, and the conclusions were made about the correlation of these components, and how they influence and impact behavior, action, and outcomes. Research results and their discussion. The concept of cross-cultural competence was offered. In different sources, similar structures were denominated with rather different terminologies. However, based on the numerous studies, it became possible to structure the cross-cultural competence concept, which shows the correlation of cognitive knowledge, abilities, attitudes, personal traits, and key skills which are important while communicating cross-culturally. Cultural experience and foreign language knowledge also contribute to cross-cultural efficiency, which is measured according to its external and internal outcomes
